17 Neither did I go to Jerusalem, to those who were Apostles before me. Instead, I went into Arabia, and next I returned to Damascus.
18 And then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter; and I stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 But I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the brother of the Lord.
20 Now what I am writing to you: behold, before God, I am not lying.
21 Next, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.
23 For they had only heard that: "He, who formerly persecuted us, now evangelizes the faith which he once fought."
